BFPET is a sensitive marker of cardiac ischemia, a condition in which blood flow to the heart muscle, and thus oxygen, is restricted. As an imaging agent for myocardial perfusion, BFPET enables the assessment of blood flow to the muscles or walls of the heart. With BFPET, healthcare professionals have improved ability to detect coronary artery disease and to discern multi-vessel disease.

BFPET is a novel cardiovascular blood flow imaging agent for use in combination with stress-testing in patients with presumptive chronic coronary artery disease.
